ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI. Built on the GPT-4 family of models, it is designed to generate coherent, contextually appropriate text in response to natural language prompts. It functions as a conversational assistant for information gathering, writing and editing, problem solving, coding, tutoring, brainstorming, translation, and more, across a broad range of topics and languages.

Under the hood, ChatGPT predicts likely sequences of words by learning from a large corpus of text. It does not possess consciousness, beliefs, or desires, and it does not access real-time information unless a connected tool is used. It treats each interaction based on the input it receives and any system instructions provided by the deployment.

Limitations include the possibility of generating incorrect or misleading information, sensitivity to wording, and biases that may reflect training data. It may misinterpret questions or fail to understand nuanced context. Users should verify critical details and avoid relying on the model as the sole source for important decisions.

Safety and privacy considerations accompany its use. OpenAI applies content filters and policy rules to reduce harmful outputs. Conversations may be logged and used to improve models, and users are advised not to share highly sensitive personal data in chats or rely on the model to store memory across sessions unless the specific platform provides that feature.
